Summer arm sleeves usually fall into two camps: heavy and sweaty, or so light they slide down the moment you start riding. Assos finally threads the needle with the new Arm Protector.

They use a lighter yarn than before, but it still delivers full UPF 50+ coverage. The fabric sits close, breathes instantly, and pulls moisture off the skin before it can build. The fit is the real story. It wraps the arm without pressure points and stays put without any bulk at the wrist.

If you want real protection in real heat without feeling like you’re wearing anything at all, these do the job.
